Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) 10/15/07 state_SHA_winter vector digital data westbay_w_polygon withheld This data set represents the Florida Shellfish Harvesting Area (SHA) boundaries for winter as classified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS). These data are intended for general reference only and are not appropriate for legal use. Copies of the document Shellfish Harvesting Area Classification Maps and the document Shellfish Harvesting Area Classification Boundaries and Management Plans, containing shellfish harvesting area descriptions, references to shellfish harvesting area map numbers, and operating criteria herein incorporated by reference may be obtained by writing to the Department at 1203 Governors Square Boulevard, 5th Floor, Tallahassee, Florida 32301. These data spatially represent the shellfish harvesting area classification boundaries in Florida for the winter months of the year. These data are intended for general reference only and are not appropriate for legal use. The legal maps found on the Division of Aquaculture's website will be slightly different due to the older maps being required for reference in chapter 5-L1 F.A.C. Please use caution when referencing this data. Each shellfish harvesting area and shellfish harvesting area map has a unique name and area number. Shellfish areas are classified by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (DACS) to protect shellfish consumers from shellfish borne illnesses and to maximize the harvest of shellfish resources. Shellfish are defined in this context as oysters, clams and mussels. The Department is authorized by Chapter 597.020, Florida Statutes to establish regulations, specifications, and codes relating to sanitary practices for catching, handling, processing, preserving, canning, smoking, and storing of shellfish. Criteria for classification are contained in Chapter 5L-1, Florida Administrative Code (FAC), which incorporates by reference the National Shellfish Sanitation (NSSP) Model Ordinance. The NSSP is a voluntary and cooperative program that is designed to prevent human illness associated with the consumption of fresh and fresh-frozen shellfish through the sanitary control over all phases of growing, harvesting, shucking, packing and transportation. Participants in the NSSP include the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Marine Fisheries Service, coastal producing and receiving states, and the shellfish industry. Only shellfish products harvested from areas that are classified and managed by a state in accordance with the NSSP are approved for harvest. Classifications are based on pollution source, hydrographic, meteorologic and bacteriological surveys to identify where sanitary conditions are suitable for the harvest of wholesome shellfish. Pollution source, hydrographic, and meteorologic surveys characterize the introduction and distribution of contaminants that may be present in amounts that present a health hazard; hence, should not be open to harvest. The bacteriological survey identifies waters meeting NSSP fecal coliform standards. Fecal coliform is an indicator group of bacteria used by DACS. Fecal coliform live in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals, and each person excretes approximately two billion of these bacteria per day. Few fecal coliform are pathogenic; however, the presence of fecal coliform bacteria in coastal waters indicates feces from warm-blooded animals is present and human pathogens are likely to also be present. The NSSP has established bacteriological standards for shellfish harvesting area classification. For areas to be classified "Approved" or "Conditionally Approved," the level of fecal coliform in surface water samples must meet the NSSP 14/43 standard. For areas to be classified "Restricted" or "Conditionally Restricted," the level of fecal coliform in surface water samples must meet the NSSP 88/260 standard. NSSP 14/43 standard: The fecal coliform median or geometric mean must not exceed 14 MPN/100 ml, and not more than 10 percent may exceed 43 MPN/100 ml. NSSP 88/260 standard: The fecal coliform median or geometric mean must not exceed 88 MPN/100 ml, and not more than 10 percent may exceed 260 MPN/100 ml. A comprehensive shellfish harvesting area survey is written for each shellfish harvesting area to document the methods and findings of these surveys, as well as proposed changes in classification and management. NSSP guidelines require that these reports, at a minimum, be maintained annually, reevaluated every three years and resurveyed every 12 years. Areas that do not comply with sanitary requirements are immediately reclassified or closed. Shellfish harvesting areas are classified as "Approved," "Conditionally Approved," "Restricted," "Conditionally Restricted," "Prohibited," and Unclassified (= unapproved). These classifications are defined in Chapter 5L-1.003. The following provides generalized descriptions for these classifications: "Approved" - Normally open to shellfish harvesting; may be temporarily closed under extraordinary circumstances such as red tides, hurricanes and sewage spills. The 14/43 standard must be met for all combinations of defined adverse pollution conditions (tide, rainfall, river, tide/rainfall, tide/river and tide/rainfall/river). "Conditionally Approved" - Periodically closed to shellfish harvesting based on pollution events, such as rainfall or increased river flow. The 14/43 standard must be met when rainfall, river stage, and/or river discharge is less than the management plan level for temporary closure and during all other adverse pollution conditions. "Restricted" - Normally open to relaying or controlled purification, allowed only by special permit and supervision; may be temporarily closed under extraordinary circumstances such as red tides, hurricanes and sewage spills. The 88/260 standard must be met for all combinations of defined adverse pollution conditions (tide, rainfall, river, tide/rainfall, tide/river and tide/rainfall/river). "Conditionally Restricted" - Periodically, relay and controlled purification activity is temporarily suspended based on pollution events, such as rainfall or increased river flow. The 88/260 standard must be met when rainfall, river stage, and/or river discharge is less than the management plan level for temporary closure and during all other adverse pollution conditions. "Prohibited" - Shellfish harvesting is not permitted due to actual or potential pollution. This classification is least desirable, and is used only when standards are exceeded for "Approved," "Conditionally Approved," "Restricted," and "Conditionally Restricted" classification management schemes. Unclassified - Shellfish harvesting is not permitted pending bacteriological and sanitary surveys. The verbal descriptions of shellfish harvesting areas are presented in this document from the northwesternmost shellfish harvesting area located in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties counterclockwise along the coastline of Florida to the northeasternmost shellfish harvesting area located in Duval County. Surface waters that lack a map in this document for shellfish harvesting area boundaries are UNCLASSIFIED. Harvest of shellfish from these Unclassified waters is not lawful (Chapter 5L-1.003(7)), because the current sanitary conditions of the area have not been characterized for the protection of the health of shellfish consumers. Counties where all coastal waters classified as Unclassified are: Jefferson, Taylor, Hernando, Pasco, Monroe, Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Flagler, and Nassau. Shellfish harvesting areas may be in the open or closed status. Harvesting of shellfish from an area in the closed status is not permitted [Chapter 5L-1.003(2)(b), .003(3), .003(4), and .003(5), FAC]. Closed areas include Prohibited and Unclassified areas as well as temporarily closed Approved, Conditionally Approved, Restricted, and Conditionally Restricted areas. The open/closed status of shellfish harvesting areas is available from the field and headquarter offices of the DACS Shellfish Environmental Assessment Section. Shellfish Harvesting Area Maps are available from the Department that illustrate classification boundaries. The locations and phone numbers of offices of the DACS Shellfish Environmental Assessment Section are presented below.
